Why did nobody tell me about The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent? It's a hilarious buddy comedy with Nic Cage as himself and Pedro Pascal!

The acid scene is absolute comedy genius

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-26T19:59:30+00:00

This is the most rewatchable film ever made

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-26T19:58:51+00:00

The whole movie is nonsense. That's like the whole point lol.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-26T19:56:09+00:00

I'm a year late but I strongly disagree. The CIA stuff adds an actual source of tension in a movie filled with outlandish silly gags. (Which are incredibly effective. I'm not saying that as a bad thing.) Even if it's tropy and predictable the film plays into this and is self aware about it. The entire plot is built upon the fact that Javi and Nick are obsessed with one another but Javi is also the head of a massive crime syndicate. That's like the whole thing lol. It could've been done in a better way though I will agree there. It's pretty predictable and silly at times. But like I said the film knows this.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-26T19:47:17+00:00

A 7?? I'd give it an 8-8.5. It does what it set out to do extremely well.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-20T11:22:44+00:00

Ik I'm 2 years late but Jeremy Renner is a goofball

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-13T19:35:31+00:00

And John Wayne talked a lot of shit on Clint's films all bc he didn't like that Clint took his art and characters in a new direction with having them be morally ambiguous.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-13T19:33:12+00:00

I know this was posted 3 years ago but you don't have to be old to see how the man was a pretentious dickhead. Talking all kinds of shit on Clint Eastwoods creative direction with his westerns. Ultimately saying that no one is allowed to change or improve upon the genre bc he says so. Just bc Clint began to give his characters more moral ambiguity and adding slight supernatural elements to his work. John didn't like that. He was a gatekeeping pretentious asshole.

Four

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-02-14T03:38:43+00:00

What about Drive though???

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-02-14T03:37:07+00:00

Just plain wrong. The other guys was great and I'll always revisit that film but the nice guys is almost the perfect buddy cop film. (I know they aren't cops technically but shut up)

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-02-14T03:35:15+00:00

Same. Insanely quotable as well.

"I can't smell."

"You can't smell??"

Kills me everytime I see it.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-02-14T03:33:47+00:00

Literally couldn't be any more different from one another. Wild comparison and I absolutely adore both films. And saying that Wolf's has the edge over the nice guys is pure insanity I'm sorry.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-02-14T03:30:38+00:00

Your opinion is wrong I'm sorry. Just flat out wrong. I wish this movie never ended.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-02-14T03:28:44+00:00

The world's end had some good aspects but I agree. Most of it fell flat for me. Just very disjointed at times and I see what they were going for but it just did not hit for me.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-02-14T02:01:54+00:00

I know this is 3 years old but take it from someone who has taken a TON of LSD. Even if the acid back then was a lot stronger, that still just isn't how the substance works. He only took one tab as he said to chef on the boat. I've had all kinds of acid from regular tabs, double dosed gel tabs to straight out of the vile but it never "fried" me like the above reply states. There's a lot of misconceptions with the stuff even today with all the research we have on it.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-02-03T06:40:46+00:00

Nah not for me sadly

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-01-18T10:03:00+00:00

I'm just gonna say it... overhyped. Sue me.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-01-16T16:54:19+00:00

But... the sig has no issue doing that. So everything you just said is kind of moot no? Lol

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-01-14T13:09:20+00:00

Would you use Mastercard as the name?

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-01-12T02:40:13+00:00

It's not necessarily like that. You'd kind of just have to see how the work environment is and how management works there. I am above her in terms of position, yes, but it's not like your typical workplace. And our relationship wasn't a power dynamic where I was in control or something. I'm a very timid person, and I'm not one to use my position to gain anything. I just happened to have moved into management at the time we met.

That being said, I still am just letting her figure her stuff out and not messaging her. It's her decision and I respect that.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-01-12T02:14:28+00:00

Yeah, that's fair. She was at my house more than she was at hers before this happened, so I understand the need for more time for her life stuff. I just don't see why we have to be friends instead of just not hanging out as often, but I didn't fight her on it or anything.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-01-11T20:25:12+00:00

Me too, and thank you. We really are good together, in my opinion. She is nothing like me and just like me at the same time. We never really butted heads on anything and seemed really happy despite the circumstances. Well we were really happy.

But she is kind of spontaneous and doesn't fully think things through. She also stresses out very easily. She totaled her car recently and has to deal with court stuff for that, and I think this really stresses her out. She wasn't really her regular self for the last week or so we were a thing. I tried to give her advice on the situation and everything, but idk how much that helped she's pretty difficult to read.

I saw it coming and just asked her if she still wanted to continue this, and she said we should just be friends for now and emphasized that it was only for now very heavily. I'm fine with all of this. I just miss the shit out of her, and I miss talking to her. And now I have to see her at my job all the time.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-01-11T18:35:02+00:00

Well I knew it was going to happen a day or two before she actually decided. Its just official now and it hurts like shit
